6/19/26 - Color Dare Challenge #709 - Cutest Crew

Happy Friday and welcome back to ColorDare #709 and today I have an adorable friendship card that involves - DOGGIES! This bundle also has row of cats and birdies images that it's perfect for kids to colors and create a card for their friends. I stamped the doggies and colored them in with Watercolor Pencils and used the Blender Pen to smooth out the harsh lines. The 2 additional colors I used are Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green - I even added some gold sequins! I think I used all the colors - YEAH!! I hope you put on your creative cap and join us at the challenge.

Welcome back to our monthly challenge here at Cardz 4 Guyz and this month it's gardening. I still have my Planted Paradise for this masculine card. I stamped the pot in 3 different colors as well as the leaves. The white is subtle embossed which I think gives it a little texture. This card turns out totally awesome!

6/15/2026 - MMM #208 (Stencil) / Sparkle (Masculine) / Creative Crafter (ATG) - Capturing Smiles

Happy Monday! Today's card is submitted with 3 different design teams I am on - Make My Monday (stencil), Sparkle (masculine) and Creative Crafter (ATG)! I used my Capturing Smiles Bundle for this card that's perfect for any guys who enjoyed photography and/or outdoor! I used a stencil with Stampin' Blend to create a background for the camera and instead of coloring in the camera, I simply stamped the images I want in cardstock. I loved the detail of embossing I did as well as the outdoor image in the camera lenses. I hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenges.
